Brilliant tutorial. I've just received my Garmin instinct and this tutorial is miles better than the user manual. I've just spent 30 minutes doing the basic settings by this tutorial, now on to the next one. Thanks.
Thanks for all the great videos! I've barely scratched the surface of what this thing can do because I wasn't fond of trying to use the user's guide. Your videos are very helpful
Awesome video, way better than the manual. This channel have saved me a lot of heartache as I've had to reset my watch to factory settings just to stop a bike ride!
For the hotkeys, is it possible to make them automatically start a certain type of workout? For Triathlon that would be so helpful to have three hot keys set up to track open water swim, bike, then run.
Great video. However, I still don't know to change the color of the background from dark to light. I know I can do this with the main watch face but how do I do this with the widgets!? Thanks.
I have a Garmin maybe a sport or instinct. I mainly want to used the stop watch to time my walking. I just simply want the read out for the stop watch to be as large as possible. How do I get there? Thank You!
Thorough tutorial. Two Issues with my Garmin Instinct Solar. 1. My laptop recognizes both my Garmin Nuvi products and my Nikon camera, it will not recognize my Instinct. I worked with Garmin support but no solution including watch replacement. 2. My Instinct came configured as I would have programmed it except I would like to see my heart rate both in and not in an activity. thanks, Steve
How would you compare this watch to their more mainstream watches that have IQ? I own a Vivoactive 3 Music LTE & am really enjoying the Garmin wearable life so far. I do wonder if I were to make the Instinct my next Garmin watch would I be missing a lot by not having IQ. I see the Instinct does not do colour screen or touch but does have even longer battery life & looks like it can withstand the outdoors very well.
Does the watch display max speed during tracking? Or is it only visible after exporting to the app? I am looking for a gps watch suitable for watersports.
So I noticed my battery life isn't that great anymore and I think it is because I have something running in the background. How do I find out what that is running and how to turn it off?
They say 14 days. I recharged mine after about 10, but it didn't need it. Now, I plug it in to the PC every night to sync it, and that also seems to give it enough charge to stay full. It's been several weeks, and it always shows as fully charged.
I have problems with my instinct because it makes a lot of noise when vibrating, is regular?it's kind of like resonance with the buttons, it's terrible, like a baby rattle
Just unboxed my Instinct and the watch is stuck in language selection. I turn it off, and back on, only language selection is available... any chance you have a video of now to fix this issue?
It does not look like the dude is responding to the questions, that is messed up. I am having the same issue with my watch that I received today and it is really beginning to piss me off! I mailed back a Etrex for the same issues last year , At first I had it on English now its stuck on German the last language on earth I would want to speak or read.
Just received watch today and I am doing my best to change language as it was on English now stuck in German and my display is not like yours. If I don't change it by tonight its going back in the mail tomorrow. I should have got the Garmin 2 .. Live and learn and I am not technologically challenged but I have little patients for expensive shit that has crap for instructions..
Hi! I noticed in a video a guy that has the time with no dots between hour/minutes (sorta the London subway electronic signage). Is there a seting for this? Thank you!
Just to confirm, do you mean where your phone will automatically unlock while connected to your watch via Bluetooth? If so, yes that can be configured. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
@@GaugingGadgets Exactly, the phone will unlock automatically without fingerprint or password. Thank you very much, I'm going to order the watch, for curiosity, i use watch for 3 time a week for TacFit and bike somtimes, but i like the style of watch sorry for my bad english

Excited to use this new Garmin Instinct. I already know way better than my now replaced Fitbit. Thanks for the quick tutorial!
Excellent tutorial on this watch, helped a lot thank man.
Thanks a lot. Simple and straight to the point.

Can we change the current running pace font size or bring it to middle. I have longsight and I have hard time reading text without glasses
Could it be used to tell you what speed you are moving at, say on a boat?

I am having problems trying to changing the date. Do you have any suggestions?
The description says date modification instructions are included. They are not.
I still didnt figure out how to change my callendar/data
Does the watch display max speed during tracking? Or is it only visible after exporting to the app? I am looking for a gps watch suitable for watersports.
How long have these watches lasted? My husband's watch battery has completely died after 3 years and no damage or cause.
Hi.. how do I change the date on my watch. Garmin connect calendar is correct but my watch is a day behind.
Question: when I turn off the Battery Saver mode, what power mode does the watch enter then?
Any info on what the tactical option is?
just got a Garmin instinct tactic, and in the settings it doesn't let me add a notification for the storm...is there something I need to do?
I need them how to do it with the approach S60
Does it have Swedish? Can’t find a list of language anywhere. Also: have you heard the rumors of the Instinct 2 with solar charge?
Does instinct have auto pause feature?
Perfect thanks so much
So I noticed my battery life isn't that great anymore and I think it is because I have something running in the background. How do I find out what that is running and how to turn it off?
How do you fix the date?

Can you like watch it in the dark? Like will it light up when you turn on the backlight?
Yes can

What's the difference between 24 hour time and Military?
The only difference I noticed was 24hr time has the colon between hours and minutes; military doesn't.
Just unboxed my Instinct and the watch is stuck in language selection. I turn it off, and back on, only language selection is available... any chance you have a video of now to fix this issue?

That's the military option under 'time' 👍
This video best
Good tutorial, waaay too fast however!
Glad you liked the tutorial. This tutorial can help you slow down videos on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/HLoMchpqhnA/v-deo.html
Agree
What kind of fitness traking stuff dose it have
Can you change the background to a photo or something
Unfortunately you can't on the Instinct.
If you are going to sync with GPS, you will want to be wherever you can get a GPS signal, a basement is not a good choice, as example,.

There's no sleep tracker?
Yes, there is but all of this is only visible through Garmin connect either in a browser or on your phone.

Please talk FASTER
You can change the playback rate to 1.25x.
Also, you should have used the work "speak" rather than "talk" here.
